twostepcub's music chart for October 28,2011...

Well guys, one new computer later and a missed week, but I'm back with my top-100 tunes for this week. This week finds Adele still on top for a fourth week, while Colbie Caillat (pictured above) moves up in the top-10. Singles by Nicole Scherzinger, Nickelback, and Lady Antebellum make the biggest moves, while former big hits by Yoko Ono, Beyonce, and Kenny Chesney drop out. Link-O-Rama is back, so you can click on any of the highlighted artists names to go to their website (rightclick to use a different tab or window). Damn WMP12!

This week there are ten new songs on my list (highlighted in yellow), including two coming in in the top 40. Here they are, along with a little about the artists with links to previous hits on YouTube in orange.

The highest entry comes from Daughtry, who are ready to release their third CD in November. Their self-titled debut produced three #1 adult-pop hits ("It's Not Over", "Home", and "Feels Like Tonight"), while their sophomore effort Leave This Town added one more with "No Surprise". He remains one of the biggest American Idol alums (and my personal favorite), and Chris and the guys are back with "Crawling Back To You"...



I bought French super-DJ David Guetta's CD Nothing But The Beat a couple weeks ago, and it's a total party jam. Already throwing out two worldwide top-10 singles with "Where Them Girls At" and "Little Bad Girl", two more of his tracks debut on todays chart. The first features Usher, who certainly is enjoying a resurgence in the dance community with songs like "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love". The two team up for a song that is ironically anthemic for being about lost love. And the video keeps the party vibe going for "Without You"...



Will there ever be the seemingly inevitable Rihanna-backlash? For someone who's so, well, overexposed, she seems to not be able to lose, as her latest track is set to possibly become Billboard's next #1 pop single next week, which would make her eleventh single to do so. Of those previous ten, my faves are "Take A Bow", "Disturbia", and "Umbrella", all from her best work so far, Good Girl Gone Bad. I definitely give her a pass, especially when she uses one of the best producers/dance artists out there, Scotsman Calvin Harris, who can boast two big hits of his own right this year in the UK ("Bounce" with Kelis and "Feels So Close"), and he also wrote and produced this one, "We Found Love" (along with Rihanna getting her "brogue" on)...



Uncle/nephew dance music duo LMFAO score a third concurrent hit on my list (along with "Party Rock Anthem" and "Champagne Showers") with a song that is becoming viral thanks to a hilarious video with cameos from Simon Rex, Ron Jeremy, and Wilmer Valderama, and proclaiming they're "Sexy and I Know It"...



Orange County California rock outfit Young The Giant follow their top-5 rock hit "My Body" with their equally successful followup, "Cough Syrup"...



Former child-star Demi Lovato is a veteran of such shows as Barney & Friends and Sonny With A Chance, but it was her turn in the tween-movie Camp Rock with the then-skyrocketing Jonas Brothers that thrust her into the Miley/Selena/Demi tween triumvirate of pop schlock, and giving her a top-10 hit with the Joe Jonas duet "This Is Me". Lovato had one more top-20 hit with "Here We Go Again" in 2009 from her same-titled sophomore CD, before going through some, well, personal issues, and now is back with her biggest solo hit yet, which is now crossing over from the teen market where she has her 2nd top-10 US pop hit to adult-pop radio. Here's "Skyscraper"...




Country rocker Eric Church has had quite a good year, having a #1 all-genre CD with his latest effort Chief even without having a country top-10 hit to promote it (his last album, Carolina, had two that just made the top-10, "Love Your Love The Most" and "Hell On The Heart"). Although it doesnt hurt that the first single, "Homeboy", was his critically (and IMHO) best yet. His followup is that much lighter "Drink In My Hand"...



Country-jam stars the Zac Brown Band are looking to extend their almost-perfect record of seven #1 country singles out of eight radio releases (the odd man out? the #2 "Whatever It Is") with the fourth single from their latest CD, "Keep Me In Mind". And the clip is filmed at the most spectacular concert venue ever, Red Rocks in Colorado...



Cee-Lo Green keeps plugging away on promoting his excellent The Ladykiller following the iconic "Fuck You" and "Bright Lights, Bigger City", with one of the other highlights from the CD, which in the original version features Earth, Wind, & Fire alum and "Easy Lover" hitmaker Philip Bailey, while the redone single version has Canadian R&B powerhouse Melanie Fiona, who had a #1 R&B smash last year with "It Kills Me". Here's "Fool For You"...



The final entry this week is the other track from David Guetta's latest CD. The song features Australian singer Sia, who in 2000 had a top-10 hit in England with "Taken For Granted". In the States, Sia's had her biggest success in 2008, with the CD Some People Have Real Problems, and the top-10 dance track "The Girl You Lost (To Cocaine)". After a dehabilitating battle with the autoimmune disorder Graves' disease, she's back with her biggest hit yet, which has become a top-5 hit in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Holland, and Norway, while also selling strongly in America and France, and may symbolise her strength through her battles. Here's "Titanium"..




Five songs also made their debut this week (and stay on this week), here they are as a bonus since they are by some of the biggest acts out there...

First off is Jennifer Lopez, with her newly-crowned #1 dance hit "Papi"...



Canadian drunk-rock megaband Nickelback is back with the first single from their upcoming CD, "When We Stand Together"..



Ronnie Dunn has his second solo hit with the bleak "Cost Of Livin'"...



German R&B/Dance act R.I.O. have their biggest hit in their homeland so far with "Turn This Club Around"...



And finally, next week's projected biggest seller, Coldplay, with the surreal clip for "Paradise"...






Enough for now...4400 songs messed up? Really?
